Description

この明細書における開示は、絞り弁装置に関する。 The disclosure in this specification relates to a throttle valve device.

従来、弁ボディに形成された流体通路の開度を絞り弁体により増減する絞り弁装置は、広く知られている。例えば特許文献1に開示の絞り弁装置では、駆動力の発生により絞り弁体と一体回転する回転体を、捩じりコイルばねとしてのデフォルトスプリングが付勢している。その結果、駆動力の消失時に回転体は、絞り弁と共にデフォルト位置にて定位することが可能となっている。 BACKGROUND ART Conventionally, a throttle valve device that increases or decreases the opening of a fluid passage formed in a valve body by a throttle valve body is widely known. For example, in the throttle valve device disclosed in Patent Document 1, a default spring as a torsion coil spring biases a rotating body that rotates integrally with the throttle valve body when a driving force is generated. As a result, when the driving force disappears, the rotating body can be localized at the default position together with the throttle valve.

こうした特許文献1に開示の絞り弁装置によるデフォルトスプリングは、第1フック部及び第2フック部の間にコイル部を有し、ガイド体により径方向内側からガイドされている。デフォルトスプリングでは、駆動力の発生により回転体がデフォルト位置から回転するときには、第1フック部と第2フック部とがそれぞれ、弁ボディの固定係合部及び回転体の可動係合部のうち一方と他方とに係合する。またデフォルトスプリングでは、駆動力の消失により回転体がデフォルト位置に定位するときには、第1フック部と第2フック部とがそれぞれ、少なくとも可動係合部に係合することとなる。 The default spring by the throttle valve device disclosed in Patent Document 1 has a coil portion between the first hook portion and the second hook portion, and is guided from the inside in the radial direction by the guide body. In the default spring, when the rotating body rotates from the default position due to the generation of the driving force, the first hook portion and the second hook portion are respectively one of the fixed engaging portion of the valve body and the movable engaging portion of the rotating body. And engage the other. Further, in the default spring, when the rotating body is localized at the default position due to the disappearance of the driving force, the first hook portion and the second hook portion respectively engage at least the movable engaging portion.

この種の捩じりコイルばねは、対象となる係合部から両フック部が反力を受けることに起因して、コイル部が傾いた姿勢になる。そのため、コイル部がガイド体に押し付けられて、ガイド体が摩耗する。この問題に関し特許文献1には、コイル部の1巻目部分を外周側から外周支持部が押すことで、コイル部の傾いた姿勢を矯正できる旨が記載されておりし、これによりガイド体の摩耗を低減できる旨が記載されている。 In this type of torsion coil spring, the coil portions are in an inclined posture due to the reaction force of both hook portions from the target engaging portion. Therefore, the coil portion is pressed against the guide body, and the guide body is worn. Regarding this problem, Patent Document 1 describes that the tilted posture of the coil portion can be corrected by pushing the first winding portion of the coil portion from the outer peripheral side by the outer peripheral support portion, whereby the guide body It is described that wear can be reduced.

しかし、本発明者が特許文献1に記載の装置について検討したところ、コイル中心線方向に対して垂直な方向にコイル部を押しても実際には姿勢を矯正できず、捩じりコイルばねの螺旋角度に応じた最適な角度でコイル部を押す必要があることが明らかとなった。そして、最適角度で精度良く押す構造にすることは極めて困難であり、最適角度からずれた向きに押すと、コイル部の姿勢は却って悪化することが分かった。 However, when the present inventor examined the device described in Patent Document 1, the posture could not be actually corrected even if the coil portion was pushed in the direction perpendicular to the coil center line direction, and the spiral of the torsion coil spring It became clear that it is necessary to push the coil part at an optimum angle according to the angle. Further, it has been found that it is extremely difficult to make the structure to press with an optimum angle with high precision, and if the structure is pressed in a direction deviated from the optimum angle, the posture of the coil portion deteriorates rather.

このように、両フック部に反力がかかることに起因して生じるコイル部の姿勢の崩れを矯正するにあたり、コイル部を外周側から押す上記構造では、実際には姿勢を矯正することが困難である。 As described above, in correcting the collapse of the posture of the coil portion caused by the reaction force applied to both hook portions, it is actually difficult to correct the posture with the above-mentioned structure in which the coil portion is pushed from the outer peripheral side. Is.

(First embodiment)
As shown in FIG. 1, the throttle valve device 1 according to the first embodiment is applied to an electric throttle device mounted on an internal combustion engine of a vehicle. The throttle valve device 1 opens and closes a fluid passage 2 that constitutes a part of an intake passage in an internal combustion engine. Intake air, which is drawn into the internal combustion engine as a fluid, flows through the fluid passage 2. The throttle valve device 1 adjusts the flow rate of intake air flowing through the fluid passage 2. The throttle valve device 1 includes a throttle valve body 10, a valve shaft 20, a valve body 30, a drive unit 50, and a sensor unit 70.

絞り弁体10は、バタフライ式の回動弁である。絞り弁体10は、金属により円板状に形成されている。絞り弁体10には、流体通路2の通路軸線Aaに対して実質垂直に、回転中心線Crが設定されている。絞り弁体10は、回転中心線Crまわりの両側へ回転可能に、流体通路2内に収容配置されている。絞り弁体10は、回転中心線Crまわりの回転により流体通路2の開度を増減することで、流体通路2における吸入空気の流量を調整する。 The throttle valve body 10 is a butterfly type rotary valve. The throttle valve body 10 is formed of metal into a disc shape. A rotation center line Cr is set in the throttle valve body 10 substantially perpendicular to the passage axis Aa of the fluid passage 2. The throttle valve body 10 is housed in the fluid passage 2 so as to be rotatable on both sides around the rotation center line Cr. The throttle valve body 10 adjusts the flow rate of intake air in the fluid passage 2 by increasing or decreasing the opening degree of the fluid passage 2 by rotating around the rotation center line Cr.

弁軸20は、絞り弁体10を回転駆動するためのシャフトである。弁軸20は、金属により細長の丸棒状に形成されている。弁軸20は、絞り弁体10の回転中心線Cr上を延伸する姿勢に配置されることで、流体通路2を横切っている。弁軸20は、絞り弁体10に対して一体回転可能に締結されている。 The valve shaft 20 is a shaft for rotationally driving the throttle valve body 10. The valve shaft 20 is formed of metal into an elongated round bar shape. The valve shaft 20 crosses the fluid passage 2 by being arranged in a posture that extends on the rotation center line Cr of the throttle valve body 10. The valve shaft 20 is fastened to the throttle valve body 10 so as to be integrally rotatable.

弁ボディ30は、内燃機関において吸気通路を形成する吸気管に対して固定される固定節である。弁ボディ30は、ボディ本体31とボディカバー32とボディフック33とを組み合わせて構成されている。ボディ本体31は、金属によりブロック状に形成されている。ボディ本体31は、ボア部310及び収容部311,312を有している。ボア部310には、円板状の絞り弁体10によって開閉可能な円筒孔状に、流体通路2が貫通している。収容部311,312は、回転中心線Cr上にてボア部310を挟む両側に、それぞれ中空状に設けられている。 The valve body 30 is a fixed node fixed to an intake pipe forming an intake passage in the internal combustion engine. The valve body 30 is configured by combining a body main body 31, a body cover 32, and a body hook 33. The body body 31 is formed of metal in a block shape. The body main body 31 has a bore portion 310 and accommodating portions 311 and 312. The fluid passage 2 penetrates through the bore portion 310 in a cylindrical hole shape that can be opened and closed by the disc-shaped throttle valve body 10. The accommodating portions 311 and 312 are provided in a hollow shape on both sides of the bore portion 310 on the rotation center line Cr.

第1収容部311内には、ラジアル滑り軸受34が収容固定されている。ラジアル滑り軸受34は、弁軸20において一端部の外周面をラジアル支持する。第2収容部312内には、ラジアル転がり軸受36が収容固定されている。ラジアル転がり軸受36は、弁軸20において両端部間となる中間部の外周面を、ラジアル支持する。 The radial slide bearing 34 is housed and fixed in the first housing portion 311. The radial plain bearing 34 radially supports the outer peripheral surface of one end of the valve shaft 20. The radial rolling bearing 36 is housed and fixed in the second housing portion 312. The radial rolling bearing 36 radially supports the outer peripheral surface of the intermediate portion of the valve shaft 20, which is between the both ends.

ボディカバー32は、樹脂により扁平皿状に形成されている。ボディカバー32は、ボディ本体31に締結されることで、第2収容部312を覆っている。ボディカバー32が第2収容部312と共同形成している主収容空間37内には、駆動ユニット50及びセンサユニット70が収容配置されている。 The body cover 32 is formed of resin into a flat dish shape. The body cover 32 is fastened to the body main body 31 to cover the second accommodating portion 312. The drive unit 50 and the sensor unit 70 are housed in the main housing space 37 in which the body cover 32 and the second housing portion 312 are formed together.

図1,2に示すようにボディフック33は、金属により屈曲状に形成されている。ボディフック33は、第2収容部312に設けられることで、主収容空間37内に突入している。ボディフック33は、主収容空間37内への突入部分に、固定係合部330を有している。固定係合部330は、主収容空間37内にて回転中心線Crまわりの一部分に広がる略円弧片状に、形成されている。 As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the body hook 33 is formed of metal in a bent shape. The body hook 33 is provided in the second accommodating portion 312, and thus protrudes into the main accommodating space 37. The body hook 33 has a fixed engagement portion 330 at a portion that projects into the main accommodation space 37. The fixed engagement portion 330 is formed in a substantially arcuate piece shape that extends in a part around the rotation center line Cr in the main accommodation space 37.

駆動ユニット50は、弁軸20を介して絞り弁体10を回転駆動するための電動アクチュエータである。駆動ユニット50は、駆動モータ51と減速機構52と捩じりコイルばね53とを組み合わせて構成されている。 The drive unit 50 is an electric actuator for rotationally driving the throttle valve body 10 via the valve shaft 20. The drive unit 50 is configured by combining a drive motor 51, a speed reduction mechanism 52, and a torsion coil spring 53.

図1に示す駆動モータ51は、外部制御回路からの通電によりモータ軸線Amまわりの両側へと回転する、電動機である。駆動モータ51は、回転により駆動力を発生する金属製モータ軸510を、有している。 The drive motor 51 shown in FIG. 1 is an electric motor that rotates to both sides around the motor axis Am by being energized by an external control circuit. The drive motor 51 has a metal motor shaft 510 that generates a drive force by rotation.

図1,2に示す減速機構52は、複数の樹脂製ギア520,521,522,523を歯車連繋させてなる。減速機構52は、初段ギア520と最終段ギア523との間にて回転減速機能を発揮する。初段ギア520は、同軸上のモータ軸510に対してモータ軸線Amまわりに一体回転可能に装着されている。最終段ギア523は、同軸上の弁軸20に対して回転中心線Crまわりに一体回転可能に固定されることで、絞り弁体10とも一体回転可能となっている。駆動モータ51から初段ギア520へ入力される駆動力(以下、単に「駆動力」という)は、回転減速機能により増幅されて最終段ギア523から弁軸20へと伝達される。こうした伝達駆動力を弁軸20から受けることで絞り弁体10は、回転中心線Crまわりの両側のうち駆動力に応じた側へと回転する。 The speed reduction mechanism 52 shown in FIGS. 1 and 2 includes a plurality of resin gears 520, 521, 522, and 523 gear-connected to each other. The reduction mechanism 52 exhibits a rotation reduction function between the first gear 520 and the last gear 523. The first-stage gear 520 is attached to the coaxial motor shaft 510 so as to be integrally rotatable around the motor axis Am. The final stage gear 523 is fixed to the coaxial valve shaft 20 so as to be integrally rotatable around the rotation center line Cr, and thus is also integrally rotatable with the throttle valve body 10. The driving force (hereinafter, simply referred to as “driving force”) input from the drive motor 51 to the first stage gear 520 is amplified by the rotation deceleration function and transmitted from the final stage gear 523 to the valve shaft 20. By receiving such a transmission driving force from the valve shaft 20, the throttle valve body 10 rotates to the side corresponding to the driving force on both sides around the rotation center line Cr.

最終段ギア523は、回転体525及びガイド体526を有している。全体として円筒状の回転体525には、噛合部527と可動係合部528とが一体に設けられている。噛合部527は、主収容空間37内にて回転中心線Crまわりの一部分に広がる部分平歯車状に、形成されている。噛合部527は、最終段ギア523よりも前段側のギア522と噛合する。 The final stage gear 523 has a rotating body 525 and a guide body 526. The cylindrical rotating body 525 is integrally provided with a meshing portion 527 and a movable engaging portion 528. The meshing portion 527 is formed in the main accommodating space 37 in the shape of a partial spur gear that spreads around a portion around the rotation center line Cr. The meshing portion 527 meshes with the gear 522 on the front side of the final stage gear 523.

可動係合部528は、主収容空間37内にて回転中心線Crまわりの一部分に広がる略円弧片状に、形成されている。可動係合部528は、本実施形態では固定係合部330よりも回転中心線Crに近接して、即ち固定係合部330よりも径方向の内側にずれて配置されている。 The movable engagement portion 528 is formed in a substantially arcuate piece shape that spreads in a portion around the rotation center line Cr in the main accommodation space 37. In the present embodiment, the movable engaging portion 528 is arranged closer to the rotation center line Cr than the fixed engaging portion 330, that is, displaced from the fixed engaging portion 330 in the radial direction.

ここで、図1,2に示す回転体525の回転位置は、絞り弁体10により流体通路2を全閉状態から僅かに開くデフォルト位置Ldに、予め設定されている。このデフォルト位置Ldでは、駆動力の消失により回転体525が定位する。 Here, the rotational position of the rotary body 525 shown in FIGS. 1 and 2 is preset to a default position Ld in which the throttle valve body 10 slightly opens the fluid passage 2 from the fully closed state. At the default position Ld, the rotating body 525 is localized due to the disappearance of the driving force.

一方、図3に示す回転体525の回転位置は、絞り弁体10により流体通路2を全開する、即ち製品仕様上での最大開度に開放する全開位置Loに、予めされている。この全開位置Loでは、第2収容部312により噛合部527がデフォルト位置Ldとは反対側から係止されることで、回転方向のうち流体通路2を開放する開放側(以下、単に「開放側」という)への回転が回転体525に対して規制される。そこでデフォルト位置Ldよりも開放側には、全開位置Loまでの間にて駆動力の発生により回転体525の回転駆動される回転領域が、大回転領域Rlとして定義されている。 On the other hand, the rotational position of the rotating body 525 shown in FIG. 3 is set in advance to the fully open position Lo where the fluid passage 2 is fully opened by the throttle valve body 10, that is, the maximum opening according to the product specifications is opened. At the fully open position Lo, the engagement portion 527 is locked from the side opposite to the default position Ld by the second accommodating portion 312, so that the fluid passage 2 is opened in the rotational direction (hereinafter, simply referred to as “open side”). Rotation) is restricted with respect to the rotating body 525. Therefore, on the opening side of the default position Ld, the rotation region in which the rotating body 525 is driven to rotate by the generation of the driving force up to the fully open position Lo is defined as the large rotation region Rl.

また一方、図4に示す回転体525の回転位置は、絞り弁体10により流体通路2を全閉する全閉位置Lcに、予め設定されている。この全閉位置Lcでは、第2収容部312により噛合部527が全開位置Lo及びデフォルト位置Ldの双方とは反対側から係止されることで、回転方向のうち流体通路2を閉塞する閉塞側(以下、単に「閉塞側」という)への回転が回転体525に対して規制される。そこでデフォルト位置Ldよりも閉塞側には、全閉位置Lcまでの間にて駆動力の発生により回転体525の回転駆動される回転領域が、小回転領域Rsとして大回転領域Rlよりも許容される回転角度の小さな領域に、定義されている。 On the other hand, the rotational position of the rotating body 525 shown in FIG. 4 is preset to the fully closed position Lc where the throttle valve body 10 fully closes the fluid passage 2. At the fully closed position Lc, the engagement portion 527 is locked from the side opposite to both the fully open position Lo and the default position Ld by the second storage portion 312, so that the fluid passage 2 is closed in the rotation direction. Rotation (hereinafter, simply referred to as “closed side”) is restricted by the rotating body 525. Therefore, on the closing side of the default position Ld, the rotation region in which the rotating body 525 is rotationally driven by the generation of the driving force up to the fully closed position Lc is allowed as the small rotation region Rs rather than the large rotation region Rl. It is defined in the area where the rotation angle is small.

図1に示すようにガイド体526は、主収容空間37内にて回転中心線Crまわりに連続する外周面を有する円柱状に、形成されている。ガイド体526は、回転体525の噛合部527と同軸上に一体形成されている。弁軸20に対してガイド体526は、同軸上に装着されて一体可能となっている。 As shown in FIG. 1, the guide body 526 is formed in a cylindrical shape having an outer peripheral surface continuous around the rotation center line Cr in the main accommodation space 37. The guide body 526 is integrally formed coaxially with the meshing portion 527 of the rotating body 525. The guide body 526 is coaxially attached to the valve shaft 20 so that it can be integrated.

図1,2に示す捩じりコイルばね53は、捩じりにより弾性変形して復原力(以下、「捩じり弾性力」という)を発生するトーションスプリングである。捩じりコイルばね53は、金属素線の巻回により形成されている。捩じりコイルばね53は、ガイド体526の周囲に配置されている。捩じりコイルばね53は、両端のフック部531,532間にコイル部533を有している。 The torsion coil spring 53 shown in FIGS. 1 and 2 is a torsion spring that elastically deforms due to torsion to generate a restoring force (hereinafter referred to as “torsion elastic force”). The torsion coil spring 53 is formed by winding a metal wire. The torsion coil spring 53 is arranged around the guide body 526. The torsion coil spring 53 has a coil portion 533 between the hook portions 531 and 532 at both ends.

フック部531,532は、コイル部533からそれぞれ径方向外側に屈曲又は湾曲されたフック状(即ち鉤状)に、形成されている。フック部531,532はいずれも、可動係合部528及び固定係合部330よりも径方向の外側まで、延出している。ガイド体526の周囲において第1フック部531は、回転中心線Crに沿う軸方向の第2フック部532よりも噛合部527側に、配置されている。 The hook portions 531 and 532 are each formed in a hook shape (that is, a hook shape) that is bent or curved radially outward from the coil portion 533. Each of the hook portions 531 and 532 extends to the outside of the movable engaging portion 528 and the fixed engaging portion 330 in the radial direction. Around the guide body 526, the first hook portion 531 is arranged closer to the meshing portion 527 than the second hook portion 532 in the axial direction along the rotation center line Cr.

図1,2のデフォルト位置Ldにおいて第1フック部531は、係合部330,528のうち少なくとも1つとなる可動係合部528に、開放側から係合する。それと共に、デフォルト位置Ldにおいて第2フック部532は、係合部330,528のうち少なくとも1つとなる可動係合部528に、閉塞側から係合する。これらの係合状態では、各フック部531,532が同一の係合対象に対して捩じり弾性力を相反側へと与えることで、デフォルト位置Ldにて駆動力の消失した回転体525が定位状態を維持する。定位状態の時においても、捩じりコイルばね53には捩じりによる弾性変形が生じており、フック部531,532は係合部330,528から反力を受けている。 At the default position Ld in FIGS. 1 and 2, the first hook portion 531 engages with the movable engaging portion 528, which is at least one of the engaging portions 330 and 528, from the opening side. At the same time, at the default position Ld, the second hook portion 532 engages with the movable engaging portion 528, which is at least one of the engaging portions 330 and 528, from the closing side. In these engaged states, the hook portions 531 and 532 apply the torsional elastic forces to the same engaged object to the opposite sides, so that the rotating body 525 in which the driving force disappears at the default position Ld. Maintain the stereotactic state. Even in the localization state, the torsion coil spring 53 is elastically deformed due to the torsion, and the hook portions 531 and 532 receive the reaction force from the engagement portions 330 and 528.

一方で第1フック部531は、デフォルト位置Ldから開放側にずれた回転領域として図3の全開位置Loを含む大回転領域Rlでは、係合部330,528のうち一方となる可動係合部528に、開放側から係合する。それと共に、大回転領域Rlにおいて第2フック部532は、係合部330,528のうち他方となる固定係合部330に、閉塞側から係合する。これらの係合状態では、第1フック部531が係合対象の可動係合部528に閉塞側への捩じり弾性力を与えることで、大回転領域Rlのうち当該捩じり弾性力と駆動力とが釣り合う位置まで回転体525が回転する。 On the other hand, the first hook portion 531 is a movable engagement portion 528 that is one of the engagement portions 330 and 528 in the large rotation area Rl that includes the fully open position Lo of FIG. , From the open side. At the same time, in the large rotation region Rl, the second hook portion 532 engages with the fixed engagement portion 330, which is the other of the engagement portions 330 and 528, from the closing side. In these engaged states, the first hook portion 531 applies a torsion elastic force to the closed side to the movable engagement portion 528 to be engaged, so that the torsion elastic force and the driving force in the large rotation region Rl are driven. The rotating body 525 rotates to a position where the force balances.

また一方で第1フック部531は、デフォルト位置Ldから閉塞側にずれた回転領域として図4の全閉位置Lcを含む小回転領域Rsでは、係合部330,528のうち一方となる固定係合部330に、開放側から係合する。それと共に、小回転領域Rsにおいて第2フック部532は、係合部330,528のうち他方となる可動係合部528に、閉塞側から係合する。これらの係合状態では、第2フック部532が係合対象の可動係合部528に開放側への捩じり弾性力を与えることで、小回転領域Rsのうち当該捩じり弾性力と駆動力とが釣り合う位置まで回転体525が回転する。 On the other hand, the first hook portion 531 is one of the engaging portions 330 and 528 in the small rotation region Rs including the fully closed position Lc of FIG. 4 as the rotation region displaced from the default position Ld to the closing side. The mating portion 330 is engaged from the open side. At the same time, in the small rotation region Rs, the second hook portion 532 engages with the other movable engagement portion 528 of the engagement portions 330 and 528 from the closed side. In these engaged states, the second hook portion 532 applies a twist elastic force to the open side to the movable engagement portion 528 to be engaged, so that the twist elastic force in the small rotation region Rs becomes equal to the twist elastic force. The rotating body 525 rotates to a position where the driving force is balanced.

図1,2に示すようにコイル部533は、金属素線間に隙間を空けるコイル状(即ち螺旋状)に、形成されている。コイル部533は、ガイド体526により径方向内側からガイドされている。コイル部533におけるコイル中心線Ccからのコイル径は、両端間にて実質一定である。 As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the coil portion 533 is formed in a coil shape (that is, a spiral shape) with a gap between the metal element wires. The coil portion 533 is guided by the guide body 526 from the inside in the radial direction. The coil diameter of the coil portion 533 from the coil center line Cc is substantially constant between both ends.

図1に示すようにセンサユニット70は、ロータ磁石71とセンサ素子72とを組み合わせて構成されている。ロータ磁石71は、磁界を恒常的に形成する永久磁石である。ロータ磁石71は、回転体525に一体回転可能に埋設されている。センサ素子72は、磁界を検出して検出信号を出力する磁電変換素子、例えばホール素子等である。センサ素子72は、ボディカバー32に埋設されている。センサ素子72は、主収容空間37内のうち回転体525及びガイド体526の径方向内側に、配置されている。これにより、センサ素子72から出力される検出信号は、絞り弁体10により開閉される流体通路2の開度に応じた回転体525の回転位置を、表すことになる。そこで外部制御回路では、センサ素子72から出力される検出信号に基づくこととで、回転体525の回転位置に応じた流体通路2の開度を取得することが可能となっている。 As shown in FIG. 1, the sensor unit 70 is configured by combining a rotor magnet 71 and a sensor element 72. The rotor magnet 71 is a permanent magnet that constantly forms a magnetic field. The rotor magnet 71 is embedded in the rotating body 525 so as to be integrally rotatable. The sensor element 72 is a magnetoelectric conversion element that detects a magnetic field and outputs a detection signal, such as a Hall element. The sensor element 72 is embedded in the body cover 32. The sensor element 72 is arranged inside the main housing space 37 inside the rotating body 525 and the guide body 526 in the radial direction. As a result, the detection signal output from the sensor element 72 represents the rotational position of the rotating body 525 according to the opening degree of the fluid passage 2 opened and closed by the throttle valve body 10. Therefore, in the external control circuit, based on the detection signal output from the sensor element 72, it is possible to acquire the opening degree of the fluid passage 2 according to the rotation position of the rotating body 525.

(姿勢矯正構造)
さて、第1フック部531及び第2フック部532に係合部330,528から反力がかかることに起因して、コイル部533の姿勢は崩れようとする。その姿勢の崩れを矯正する目的で、図5〜8に示すように可動係合部528は、第1フック部531が嵌って係合する第1溝528aと、第2フック部532が嵌って係合する第2溝528bとを、有している。
(Posture correction structure)
Now, the posture of the coil portion 533 tends to collapse due to the reaction force applied from the engaging portions 330 and 528 to the first hook portion 531 and the second hook portion 532. For the purpose of correcting the collapse of the posture, as shown in FIGS. 5 to 8, the movable engaging portion 528 has a first groove 528a with which the first hook portion 531 is fitted and engaged, and a second hook portion 532. It has the 2nd groove 528b which engages.

第1溝528aは、第1フック部531の側に開口する形状(図5参照)、かつ、第1フック部531の線材が延びる方向、つまりコイル部533の周方向に貫通する形状(図6参照)である。可動係合部528のうち第1溝528aを形成する部分が第1押当部81に相当する。第1押当部81は、係合面811、押当面812及び対向面813を有する。 The first groove 528a has a shape that opens toward the first hook portion 531 (see FIG. 5) and a shape that penetrates in the direction in which the wire rod of the first hook portion 531 extends, that is, in the circumferential direction of the coil portion 533 (FIG. 6). See). A portion of the movable engaging portion 528 that forms the first groove 528a corresponds to the first pressing portion 81. The first pressing portion 81 has an engagement surface 811, a pressing surface 812, and a facing surface 813.

係合面811は、コイル部533の外周の接線に対して垂直に拡がる平坦面である。押当面812及び対向面813は、係合面811に対して垂直に拡がる平坦面である。押当面812は、コイル中心線Cc方向のうち最終段ギア523の側に位置し、対向面813は、コイル部533のコイル中心線Cc方向の中央M(図5,6参照)の側に位置する。また、第1フック部531の押当面812は、コイル部533の径方向中心から遠ざかるにつれ中央Mに近づく向きに傾斜したテーパ形状である(図7,8参照)。 The engagement surface 811 is a flat surface that extends perpendicular to the tangent line of the outer circumference of the coil portion 533. The pressing surface 812 and the facing surface 813 are flat surfaces that extend perpendicularly to the engagement surface 811. The pressing surface 812 is located on the final stage gear 523 side in the coil center line Cc direction, and the facing surface 813 is located on the center M side (see FIGS. 5 and 6) of the coil portion 533 in the coil center line Cc direction. To do. Further, the pressing surface 812 of the first hook portion 531 has a taper shape that is inclined toward the center M as the distance from the radial center of the coil portion 533 increases (see FIGS. 7 and 8).

なお、コイル中心線Cc方向におけるコイル部533の噛合部527側の端面を第1端面535a(図6参照)と呼び、絞り弁体10側の端面を第2端面536aと呼ぶ。コイル中心線Cc方向における第1端面535aから中央Mまでの距離と、第2端面536aから中央Mまでの距離とは等しい。 The end surface of the coil portion 533 on the meshing portion 527 side in the Cc direction is referred to as a first end surface 535a (see FIG. 6), and the end surface on the throttle valve body 10 side is referred to as a second end surface 536a. The distance from the first end surface 535a to the center M in the coil center line Cc direction is equal to the distance from the second end surface 536a to the center M.

第2溝528bも第1溝528aと同様の形状であり、可動係合部528のうち第2溝528bを形成する部分が第2押当部82に相当する。第2押当部82は、係合面821、押当面822及び対向面823を有する。押当面822は、コイル中心線Cc方向のうち中央Mの側に位置し、対向面823は、コイル中心線Cc方向のうち絞り弁体10側に位置する。また、第2フック部532の押当面822は、コイル部533の径方向中心から遠ざかるにつれ中央Mに近づく向きに傾斜したテーパ形状である。 The second groove 528b also has the same shape as the first groove 528a, and the portion of the movable engaging portion 528 forming the second groove 528b corresponds to the second pressing portion 82. The second pressing portion 82 has an engaging surface 821, a pressing surface 822 and a facing surface 823. The pressing surface 822 is located on the center M side in the coil center line Cc direction, and the facing surface 823 is located on the throttle valve body 10 side in the coil center line Cc direction. Further, the pressing surface 822 of the second hook portion 532 has a tapered shape that is inclined toward the center M as the distance from the radial center of the coil portion 533 increases.

図6に示すように、第1フック部531の押当面812は、コイル中心線Cc方向において第1端面535aよりも中央Mの側に位置し、第2フック部532の押当面822は、コイル中心線Cc方向において第2端面536aよりも中央Mの側に位置する。 As shown in FIG. 6, the pressing surface 812 of the first hook portion 531 is located closer to the center M than the first end surface 535a in the coil center line Cc direction, and the pressing surface 822 of the second hook portion 532 is the coil surface. It is located closer to the center M than the second end surface 536a in the direction of the center line Cc.

また、コイル中心線Cc方向のうち、噛合部527側の1巻目部分535が位置する領域を第1領域W1と呼び、絞り弁体10側の1巻目部分536が位置する領域を第2領域W2と呼ぶ。そして、コイル中心線Cc方向における第1押当部81の全体が第1領域W1に配置され、コイル中心線Cc方向における第2押当部82の全体が第2領域W2に配置されている。 Further, in the coil center line Cc direction, a region where the first winding portion 535 on the meshing portion 527 side is located is called a first region W1, and a region where the first winding portion 536 on the throttle valve body 10 side is located is a second region. It is called a region W2. The entire first pressing portion 81 in the coil centerline Cc direction is arranged in the first region W1, and the entire second pressing portion 82 in the coil centerline Cc direction is arranged in the second region W2.

図7右欄に示すように、回転体525がデフォルト位置またはデフォルト位置より解放側に回転すると、第1フック部531の側面が第1溝528aに嵌り、係合面811が第1フック部531から捩じり弾性力を受ける。換言すれば、第1フック部531が係合面811から、捩じり弾性力に対する反力を受ける。一方、図7左欄に示すように、回転体525がデフォルト位置より閉塞側に回転すると、第1フック部531が第1溝528aから外れる。 As shown in the right column of FIG. 7, when the rotating body 525 rotates to the default position or to the release side from the default position, the side surface of the first hook portion 531 fits into the first groove 528a, and the engagement surface 811 moves to the first hook portion 531. Receives torsional elastic force from. In other words, the first hook portion 531 receives a reaction force against the torsional elastic force from the engagement surface 811. On the other hand, as shown in the left column of FIG. 7, when the rotating body 525 rotates to the closed side from the default position, the first hook portion 531 disengages from the first groove 528a.

図8右欄に示すように、回転体525がデフォルト位置またはデフォルト位置より閉塞側に回転すると、第2フック部532の側面が第2溝528bに嵌り、係合面821が第2フック部532から捩じり弾性力を受ける。換言すれば、第2フック部532が係合面821から、捩じり弾性力に対する反力を受ける。 As shown in the right column of FIG. 8, when the rotating body 525 is rotated to the default position or to the closing side from the default position, the side surface of the second hook portion 532 fits into the second groove 528b, and the engaging surface 821 becomes the second hook portion 532. Receives torsional elastic force from. In other words, the second hook portion 532 receives a reaction force against the torsional elastic force from the engagement surface 821.

要するに、回転体525がデフォルト位置から一方側へ回転しているときには、第1フック部531に第1押当部81が押し当たるとともに第2フック部532が第2押当部82から離れる。他方側へ回転しているときには、第2フック部532に第2押当部82が押し当たるとともに第1フック部531が第1押当部81から離れる。 In short, when the rotating body 525 is rotating to the one side from the default position, the first pressing portion 81 is pressed against the first hook portion 531 and the second hook portion 532 is separated from the second pressing portion 82. When rotating to the other side, the second pressing portion 82 presses against the second hook portion 532 and the first hook portion 531 separates from the first pressing portion 81.

次に、本実施形態に反して溝528a,528bが形成されていない場合に生じる、コイル部533の姿勢の崩れについて、図9,10を用いて説明する。図9及び図10は、本実施形態に反して溝528a,528bが形成されていない比較例の状態を示す。 Next, the collapse of the posture of the coil portion 533 that occurs when the grooves 528a and 528b are not formed contrary to the present embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. 9 and 10 show the state of the comparative example in which the grooves 528a and 528b are not formed contrary to the present embodiment.

図9の矢印Y1aに示すように、回転体525がデフォルト位置で静止しているときの第1フック部531は、捩じりコイルばね53の復原力で時計回り(閉塞側)に回転しようとするが、可動係合部528に係合することで回転できない。そのため、可動係合部528と第1フック部531との係合点P1fを支点とし、上記復原力による作用力が矢印Y1bに示すように1巻目部分535に作用する。その結果、1巻目部分535のうち、第1フック部531に対して可動係合部528の反対側に位置する部分がガイド体526に押し付けられる。 As indicated by an arrow Y1a in FIG. 9, when the rotating body 525 is stationary at the default position, the first hook portion 531 tries to rotate clockwise (closed side) by the restoring force of the torsion coil spring 53. However, it cannot rotate by engaging with the movable engaging portion 528. Therefore, with the engaging point P1f between the movable engaging portion 528 and the first hook portion 531 as the fulcrum, the acting force due to the restoring force acts on the first winding portion 535 as shown by the arrow Y1b. As a result, a portion of the first winding portion 535 located on the opposite side of the movable engaging portion 528 with respect to the first hook portion 531 is pressed against the guide body 526.

なお、このように1巻目部分535に作用力がかかる状態は、回転体525がデフォルト位置で静止している場合及び開放側へ回転する場合には、可動係合部528との係合点P1fを支点に生じる。そして、回転体525が閉塞側へ回転する場合には、固定係合部330との係合点を支点に生じる。要するに、対象となる係合部から第1フック部531が反力を受けることに起因して、コイル部533のうち噛合部527側の部分において、コイル中心線Ccの位置は回転中心線Crの位置に対して、対象となる係合部よりも第1フック部531の側へ偏心する。 It should be noted that the state in which the acting force is applied to the first winding portion 535 in this way is that when the rotating body 525 is stationary at the default position and rotates to the opening side, the engagement point P1f with the movable engaging portion 528 is set. Occurs at the fulcrum. Then, when the rotating body 525 rotates to the closed side, it occurs at the engagement point with the fixed engagement portion 330 as a fulcrum. In short, due to the reaction force of the first hook portion 531 from the target engagement portion, the position of the coil center line Cc is the position of the rotation center line Cr in the portion of the coil portion 533 on the meshing portion 527 side. The position is eccentric to the side of the first hook portion 531 with respect to the target engaging portion.

図10の矢印Y2aに示すように、回転体525がデフォルト位置で静止しているときの第2フック部532は、捩じりコイルばね53の復原力で反時計回り(開放側)に回転しようとするが、可動係合部528に係合することで回転できない。そのため、可動係合部528と第2フック部532との係合点P2fを支点とし、上記復原力による作用力が矢印Y2bに示すように1巻目部分536に作用する。その結果、1巻目部分536のうち、第2フック部532に対して可動係合部528の反対側に位置する部分がガイド体526に押し付けられる。 As shown by an arrow Y2a in FIG. 10, the second hook portion 532 when the rotating body 525 is stationary at the default position is rotated counterclockwise (open side) by the restoring force of the torsion coil spring 53. However, it cannot rotate by engaging with the movable engaging portion 528. Therefore, with the engaging point P2f between the movable engaging portion 528 and the second hook portion 532 as a fulcrum, the acting force by the restoring force acts on the first winding portion 536 as shown by an arrow Y2b. As a result, a portion of the first winding portion 536 located on the opposite side of the movable engaging portion 528 with respect to the second hook portion 532 is pressed against the guide body 526.

なお、このように1巻目部分536に作用力がかかる状態は、回転体525がデフォルト位置で静止している場合及び閉塞側へ回転する場合には、可動係合部528との係合点P2fを支点に生じる。そして、回転体525が開放側へ回転する場合には、固定係合部330との係合点を支点に生じる。要するに、対象となる係合部から第2フック部532が反力を受けることに起因して、コイル部533のうち絞り弁体10側の部分において、コイル中心線Ccの位置は回転中心線Crの位置に対して、対象となる係合部よりも第2フック部532の側へ偏心する。 It should be noted that the state in which the acting force is applied to the first winding portion 536 in this manner is such that when the rotating body 525 is stationary at the default position and rotates toward the closing side, the engagement point P2f with the movable engaging portion 528 is obtained. Occurs at the fulcrum. Then, when the rotating body 525 rotates to the open side, it occurs with the engagement point with the fixed engagement portion 330 as a fulcrum. In short, due to the reaction force of the second hook portion 532 from the target engagement portion, the position of the coil center line Cc is the rotation center line Cr in the portion of the coil portion 533 on the throttle valve body 10 side. With respect to the position of, the second hook portion 532 is eccentric to the target engaging portion.

このように、コイル部533の噛合部527側部分と絞り弁体10側部分とは、互いに異なる向きの力を受けるのでコイル部533の姿勢は崩れる。この姿勢の崩れについて以下に詳述すると、先ず、コイル中心線Ccは直線にはならない。また、上記変形例におけるコイル中心線Ccxは、図5に示すように第1フック部531及び第2フック部532の延出方向から見るとは直線に見えるが、図5視におけるコイル中心線Ccxは回転中心線Crに対して傾く。また、上記変形例におけるコイル部533は次のように変形する。すなわち、コイル部533の周方向におけるフック部531,532側の部分は、図11中の矢印Fxに示すようにコイル中心線Cc方向に引き伸ばされる向きに変形する。一方、コイル部533の周方向における反フック部側の部分は、図11中の矢印Fyに示すようにコイル中心線Cc方向に圧縮される向きに変形する。 In this way, the meshing portion 527 side portion and the throttle valve body 10 side portion of the coil portion 533 receive forces in directions different from each other, and thus the posture of the coil portion 533 collapses. The collapse of this posture will be described in detail below. First, the coil center line Cc does not become a straight line. Further, the coil center line Ccx in the modified example looks straight as seen from the extending direction of the first hook portion 531 and the second hook portion 532 as shown in FIG. 5, but the coil center line Ccx in FIG. Is inclined with respect to the rotation center line Cr. Further, the coil portion 533 in the above modification is modified as follows. That is, the portion of the coil portion 533 on the side of the hook portions 531 and 532 in the circumferential direction deforms in the direction in which it is stretched in the coil center line Cc direction as shown by the arrow Fx in FIG. On the other hand, the portion of the coil portion 533 on the side opposite to the hook portion in the circumferential direction is deformed in a direction in which it is compressed in the coil center line Cc direction as shown by an arrow Fy in FIG. 11.

そして本発明者は、矢印Fxに示す引張方向変形と矢印Fyに示す圧縮方向変形とを緩和させればコイル部533の姿勢を矯正できる、との知見を得た。ここで言う姿勢の矯正とは、コイル中心線Ccを直線に近づける矯正、及びコイル中心線Ccの回転中心線Crに対する傾きを抑制する矯正である。 Then, the present inventor has found that the posture of the coil portion 533 can be corrected by relaxing the deformation in the tensile direction indicated by the arrow Fx and the deformation in the compression direction indicated by the arrow Fy. The correction of the posture referred to here is a correction for making the coil center line Cc closer to a straight line and a correction for suppressing the inclination of the coil center line Cc with respect to the rotation center line Cr.

そして図11に示すように、第1フック部531に、コイル中心線Ccの中央Mに向けて押当力F1を付与すれば、1巻目部分535とガイド体526との接触部分P1bを支点とし、押当力F1による作用力がコイル部533の作用点P1cに作用する。同様にして、第2フック部532に、コイル中心線Ccの中央Mに向けて押当力F2を付与すれば、1巻目部分536とガイド体526との接触部分P2bを支点とし、押当力F2による作用力がコイル部533の作用点P2cに作用する。そして、これらの作用点P1c,P2cは、先述した圧縮方向変形する領域、つまりコイル部533の周方向における反フック部側の部分に作用することを本発明者は見出した。このことは、コイル中心線Ccの中央Mに向かう押当力F1,2をフック部531,532に付与すれば、コイル部533の姿勢を矯正できることを意味する。 Then, as shown in FIG. 11, if a pressing force F1 is applied to the first hook portion 531 toward the center M of the coil center line Cc, the contact portion P1b between the first winding portion 535 and the guide body 526 is a fulcrum. Then, the acting force of the pushing force F1 acts on the action point P1c of the coil portion 533. Similarly, if the pressing force F2 is applied to the second hook portion 532 toward the center M of the coil center line Cc, the contact portion P2b between the first winding portion 536 and the guide body 526 is used as the fulcrum and the pressing force is applied. The acting force of the force F2 acts on the action point P2c of the coil portion 533. The present inventor has found that these points of action P1c and P2c act on the region that deforms in the compression direction described above, that is, on the portion on the side opposite to the hook portion in the circumferential direction of the coil portion 533. This means that the posture of the coil portion 533 can be corrected by applying the pressing forces F1 and F2 toward the center M of the coil center line Cc to the hook portions 531 and 532.

この知見に基づき、本実施形態に係る絞り弁装置1では、押当面812,822がフック部531,532に押し当り、コイル中心線Ccの中央Mに向けて押当力がフック部531,532に付与される構造に形成されている。そのため、フック部531,532が係合面811,821から反力を受けることにより生じる、コイル部533の反フック部側部分の圧縮方向変形が、接触部分P1b,P2bを支点として作用点P1c,P2cに作用する押当力F1,F2により緩和される。よって、コイル部533の姿勢を矯正できる。 Based on this finding, in the throttle valve device 1 according to the present embodiment, the pressing surfaces 812, 822 abut against the hook portions 531 and 532, and the pressing force is applied toward the center M of the coil center line Cc. It is formed in the structure given to. Therefore, the compression direction deformation of the portion of the coil portion 533 on the side opposite to the hook portion, which occurs when the hook portions 531 and 532 receive a reaction force from the engaging surfaces 811 and 821, acts on the contact points P1b and P2b as fulcrums to act as points P1c, It is relieved by the pressing forces F1 and F2 acting on P2c. Therefore, the posture of the coil portion 533 can be corrected.

また、先述した従来構造では、コイル部533を外周側から最適角度で精度良く押すことが要求される。これに対し本実施形態の構造では、押当面812,822がフック部531,532に付与される押当力F1,F2の向きは、回転中心線Crやコイル中心線Ccに対して傾いていてもよい。仮にその押当方向が傾いている場合であっても、その力のコイル中心線Cc方向の成分が上記押当力F1,F2として作用することとなり、姿勢矯正の効果は発揮される。したがって、コイル中心線Cc方向の中央Mに向けて押当力F1,F2を付与する本実施形態によれば、外周側から押し当てる従来構造に比べて、押し当てる向きに要求される精度は低くなるので、姿勢矯正を容易に実現できるようになる。 Further, in the above-described conventional structure, it is required to press the coil portion 533 from the outer peripheral side with an optimum angle with high precision. On the other hand, in the structure of the present embodiment, the directions of the pressing forces F1 and F2 applied to the hook portions 531 and 532 by the pressing surfaces 812 and 822 are inclined with respect to the rotation center line Cr and the coil center line Cc. Good. Even if the pushing direction is inclined, the component of the force in the coil center line Cc direction acts as the pushing forces F1 and F2, and the effect of posture correction is exerted. Therefore, according to the present embodiment in which the pressing forces F1 and F2 are applied toward the center M in the coil center line Cc direction, the accuracy required in the pressing direction is lower than in the conventional structure in which the pressing force is applied from the outer peripheral side. Therefore, posture correction can be easily realized.

なお、コイル部533の姿勢が崩れると、コイル部533とガイド体526との摩擦が大きくなり、ガイド体526の摩耗が懸念される。また、コイル部533の姿勢が崩れると、捩じりコイルばね53の金属素線間の隙間がなくなり、素線間同士が擦れて摩耗することが懸念される。そして、これらの摩擦が大きくなると駆動モータ51に要求される駆動トルクが大きくなる。また、回転体525には、駆動モータ51による力、捩じりコイルばね53による復原力、およびガイド体526との摩擦力が付与されるため、デフォルト位置Ldから全閉位置Lcあるいはデフォルト位置Ldから全開位置Loの領域で、回転体525の回転に要するトルクはヒステリシスを有する。そして、上記摩耗が大きいほどヒステリシスが増大することが懸念される。したがって、本実施形態によりコイル部533の姿勢が矯正されると、これらの懸念を低減できる効果が発揮される。 If the posture of the coil portion 533 is lost, the friction between the coil portion 533 and the guide body 526 becomes large, and the guide body 526 may be worn. Further, if the posture of the coil portion 533 is broken, the gap between the metal wires of the torsion coil spring 53 disappears, and there is a concern that the wires may rub and wear. When these frictions increase, the drive torque required for the drive motor 51 also increases. Further, since the rotating body 525 is provided with the force by the drive motor 51, the restoring force by the torsion coil spring 53, and the frictional force with the guide body 526, the default position Ld is changed to the fully closed position Lc or the default position Ld. The torque required for the rotation of the rotating body 525 has a hysteresis in the range from to the fully open position Lo. There is a concern that the hysteresis increases as the wear increases. Therefore, when the posture of the coil portion 533 is corrected by the present embodiment, the effect of reducing these concerns is exerted.

さらに本実施形態では、押当部81,82は、第1フック部531に押当力F1を付与する第1押当部81と、第2フック部532に押当力F2を付与する第2押当部82とを有する。そのため、姿勢矯正に寄与する押当力F1,F2を両方のフック部531,532から付与するので、いずれか一方から付与する場合に比べて姿勢矯正の確実性を向上できる。 Further, in the present embodiment, the pressing portions 81 and 82 include the first pressing portion 81 that applies the pressing force F1 to the first hook portion 531 and the second pressing portion F2 that applies the pressing force F2 to the second hook portion 532. And a pressing portion 82. Therefore, since the pressing forces F1 and F2 that contribute to the posture correction are applied from both hook portions 531 and 532, the certainty of the posture correction can be improved as compared with the case where they are applied from either one.

さらに本実施形態では、第1押当部81及び第2押当部82は、可動係合部528に設けられている。そして、回転体525がデフォルト位置から一方側へ回転しているとき、第1フック部531に第1押当部81が押し当たるとともに第2フック部532が第2押当部82から離れる。その逆に、回転体525がデフォルト位置から他方側へ回転しているとき、第2フック部532に第2押当部82が押し当たるとともに第1フック部531が第1押当部81から離れる。2つのフック部531,532の一方が可動係合部528から離れる機会があり、その場合であっても、本実施形態では第1押当部81及び第2押当部82の2つを備えているので、2つの押当部81,82の少なくとも一方が押当力を付与することになる。よって、押当力を常時付与させることができる。 Further, in this embodiment, the first pressing portion 81 and the second pressing portion 82 are provided on the movable engaging portion 528. Then, when the rotating body 525 is rotating to the one side from the default position, the first pressing portion 81 is pressed against the first hook portion 531 and the second hook portion 532 is separated from the second pressing portion 82. Conversely, when the rotating body 525 is rotating from the default position to the other side, the second pressing portion 82 is pressed against the second hook portion 532 and the first hook portion 531 is separated from the first pressing portion 81. .. One of the two hook portions 531 and 532 has a chance to separate from the movable engaging portion 528, and even in that case, the present embodiment includes the first pressing portion 81 and the second pressing portion 82. Therefore, at least one of the two pressing portions 81 and 82 applies the pressing force. Therefore, the pressing force can be constantly applied.

さらに本実施形態では、可動係合部528には、第1フック部531が嵌まって係合する第1溝528aと、第2フック部532が嵌まって係合する第2溝528bとが形成されている。そして、押当部81,82のうちフック部531,532に押し当たる押当面812,822が、溝528a,528bの内壁面に形成されている。そのため、フック部531,532が溝528a,528bに嵌まることで係合と押当力付与が為されるので、可動係合部528の一部を押当部81,82として利用でき、絞り弁装置1の小型化を図ることができる。 Further, in the present embodiment, the movable engaging portion 528 has a first groove 528a with which the first hook portion 531 is fitted and engaged, and a second groove 528b with which the second hook portion 532 is fitted and engaged. Has been formed. Further, the pressing surfaces 812 and 822 of the pressing portions 81 and 82, which contact the hook portions 531 and 532, are formed on the inner wall surfaces of the grooves 528a and 528b. Therefore, since the hook portions 531 and 532 are engaged with the grooves 528a and 528b to provide the engagement and the pressing force, a part of the movable engaging portion 528 can be used as the pressing portions 81 and 82, and It is possible to reduce the size of the valve device 1.

According to this, it is possible to accurately realize that the direction in which the pressing portion 84 presses the first hook portion 531 is on the center M side, and the pressing force F1 can be easily obtained. Further, in the present embodiment, at least a part of the pressing portion 84 is arranged in the first region W1 where the first winding portion 535 is located in the coil center line Cc direction. Therefore, it is possible to accurately realize the direction in which the pressing portion 84 presses the first hook portion 531 to the center M side, and it is possible to easily obtain the pressing force F1.

(第2実施形態に対する第1変形例)
上記第2実施形態では、図19に示すように、第1フック部531が可動係合部528と係合した状態のときに、押当部84が第1フック部531に押し当たって押当力F1を付与している。しかし、第1フック部531が固定係合部330と係合した状態のときには、押当部84は第1フック部531から離れて押当力F1を付与しない。つまり、第1フック部531の回転領域の全体には押当部84が配置されていない。
(First Modification of Second Embodiment)
In the second embodiment, as shown in FIG. 19, when the first hook portion 531 is engaged with the movable engaging portion 528, the pushing portion 84 pushes against the first hook portion 531 and pushes it. The force F1 is applied. However, when the first hook portion 531 is engaged with the fixed engagement portion 330, the pressing portion 84 separates from the first hook portion 531 and does not apply the pressing force F1. That is, the pressing portion 84 is not arranged in the entire rotation area of the first hook portion 531.

これに対し、図21に示すように、第1フック部531の回転領域の全体に押当部84Aを配置させてもよい。これによれば、第1フック部531が固定係合部330と係合した状態のときであっても、押当部84は第1フック部531に接触して押当力F1を付与できる。よって、コイル部533の姿勢矯正の効果を向上できる。 On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 21, the pressing portion 84A may be arranged in the entire rotation region of the first hook portion 531. According to this, even when the first hook portion 531 is engaged with the fixed engagement portion 330, the pushing portion 84 can contact the first hook portion 531 and apply the pushing force F1. Therefore, the effect of posture correction of the coil portion 533 can be improved.
